From my Daggers of Darkness sci-fi novel series:

Here's the character portrait of SB3 Daisy Donnelson, a sister of Ensign John Donnelson, and daughter of Flora and Admiral Kenneth J. Donnelson. Daisy is the 2nd oldest of of four (John, Daisy, Ben, and Jonquil). She is currently serving in the Sol Federation of Worlds' Space Service as a SB3 (Combat Craft Crewman, Petty Officer 3rd Class -- the 26th century equiv. of a SWCC [Special Warfare Combatant Craft] crew member). Daisy is 22 years old, 167.64 cm (5' 6") tall and weighs in at 53.52 kg (118 pounds). Daisy and her siblings are cousins of CTC Lilly Donnelson and Capt. James Daugherty. Daisy is generally a fun loving individual, though she does take her duties quite seriously.

The photo used for the background was taken out in my yard up here in Alaska, using my phone. I purposely held the phone at about the level of where Daisy's shoulders would come to me so that I could get the proper perspective angle on the trees and bushes behind her. All work for this portrait was done in Corel Paintshop Pro 2022 and Windows Paint (for doing curves when outlining -- it's just easier).
